Head Huggers: Knit Pattern: 18

Lace-Edged Women's Hat

This pattern can be easily adjusted to fit smaller or larger heads-the
lace pattern is worked over a multiple of six stitches. Simply add or
subtract six stitches for each 1.5" of desired head circumference.

Size:

Women's Small (Medium, Large)

Finished size: 18" (20.5", 22") diameter

Materials:

Yarn that will knit to gauge (shown in Rowan Cashsoft DK)

Knitting needles-two circulars or one 16" circular and one set of DPNs
(size US6 or size to knit gauge)

Divide stitches evenly between two circular needles or three DPNs.
6th decrease: *K7 (8, 9), k2tog* (repeat around).
Continue in this pattern, decreasing every row, until 12 stitches remain.
K2tog around so that 6 sts remain; then pull yarn through remaining stitches with a tapestry needle.
Pull end through to inside of hat, weave in, and trim.
